Abstract

Hierarchically ordered microporous surfaces are addressed. Hierarchically structured honeycomb films obtained by self-assembly of block copolymers are surveyed. Block copolymers in which one of the blocks could be selectively removed give rise to hierarchical micro- and nanoporous films. Demixing polymer blend solutions performed on structured substrates results in multiscale-ordered surfaces. Formation of hierarchically ordered breath-figures topographies on patterned substrates is reviewed. Combining the breath-figures approach with photo-crosslinking strategies gives rise to hierarchical microporous surfaces. Combination of electrospinning or electrospraying and breath figures also results in hierarchical micro-scaled topographies. Hierarchically ordered microporous surfaces emerge from combination of the breath-figures method and nanoparticles. Characterization of hierarchical, multi-scale surfaces with using transmission electron microscopy combined with small and ultra-small angle scattering (SAXS, UAXS) is reviewed.
